When it comes to governing a country, the law is god. By this I simply mean, that it is the law that judges whether you are right or wrong and if you are wrong, you are condemned not by people but by the law. The laws of countries are usually placed in the constitution of a country. This means that the constitution is the common bible no matter your religious affiliations. The most famous country in the world right now is the US. This is a country of possibilities as freedom is their spine. Let us look at the events associated with the ratification of The US constitution.
The US constitution was completed on September 17th 1787 and was followed by a speech by Benjamin Franklin. This great man urges unanimity although the Convention had decided that only nine states were needed for the constitution’s ratification. This led to the convention submitting the constitution to the Congress of the Confederation. Rufus King analyzed the Convention as being independent of the Articles Congress submitting its proposal to Congress only to satisfy forms. Amendments were up for debate but they were all defeated. There was a unanimous decision by the Articles Congress to transmit the constitution to state legislatures so that they could submit to a ratification convention according to the Constitutional procedure on September 28th 1787. As a result, a myriad of states increased the numbers qualified just for electing ratification delegates.
Following Rufus King’s lead, who was from Massachusetts, Virginia and New York who were Federalist minorities, were able to obtain ratification in convention by associating ratification with recommended amendments. However, there was still opposition to the constitution. Luther Martin from Maryland argued that the federal convention had exceeded its authority and therefore he still called for amendments. Article 13 stated that the union created under the articles was everlasting and that any change must be conventional in a congress of the US and from there be confirmed by the legislatures of every State.
There were unanimous requirements under the articles and these made reformations impossible. This resulted in Martin’s allies such as John Lansing, Jr., of New York dropping moves to obstruct the Convention’s process. Many conventions moved from “amendments before” to “amendments after” so that they could stay in the union. Article 7 of the potential constitution insinuated that only nine of the thirteen states were needed for the ratification. There were several state by state ratification battles but after a year on 13th September 1788, the Articles Congress certified the ratification of the new constitution. The new government was going to be inaugurated with eleven states leaving out two. The new government was to begin functioning in New York City on the fourth day of March in the year 1789 with George Washington as the Constitution’s President. He was voted in unanimously despite fears that the states “with their darling sovereignties” could not be overcome. The funny thing is that he got the vote of the famous anti-federalist Patrick Henry. The constitution of America was an improvement on the Greek and Roman way of governance.
